Desktop HP Pavilion 500-164 wifi keeps declining.

Hello. I just bought this computer two days ago and since last night I seem to have a problem with my wifi. I opened the store and reset my router at least 5 times and my wifi always keeps dropping. I checked for new drivers and checled for the updates on Windows and I updated and restarted my computer several times. All other computers works for me, except that it is wifi keeps dropping. I have no idea why, and I can load barely a minute long video of YouTube in 480 p. Any suggestions? It worked PERFECTLY the first day and a half. Maybe I should get out swap for another at best buy?

Hey! In fact, I swapped out for the same computer... And it works! Perfectly. ::) Must have been a bad batch, but I appreciate your comments. : )

  • the desktop pc Pavilion 500-164 to date of Windows 8 for windows 8.1

    My dealer told me that the 500-164 Pavilion had windows 8.1.  This isn't.  Even if the Assistant on HP site says that it has not been tested, has anyone successfully done?

    Hello:

    I do not have your PC but I don't see any reason why it wouldn't.

    HP provides W8.1 drivers for this model on its support page.

    Before moving to W8.1, I'll make sure to create the W8 recovery media so that if for some reason, something doesn't work well in W8.1, you can restore the operating system and software from the PC to its status of "out of the box.

    And you should do anyway even if you do not upgrade to W8.

    Check out this guide to make your W8 recovery media set.

  • HP Pavilion 500-164, upgrade the video card.

    I replaced the power supply in this area for a graphics card into the PCIE slot. I put a Nvidia 9600 GT in the box, not changed no settings, tried to start, and I get no bios and 6 beeps. Any advice?

    Based on specifications, your desktop HP Pavilion 500-164 has been bundled with Windows 8 installed and has a feature called 'Secure Boot'. You must DISABLE "Secure Boot" and ACTIVATE the standby mode 'legacy' in the BIOS before the computer will start with the nVidia 9600 GT installed.

    Please, remove the video card, make changes to the BIOS and turn off the computer. Then, reinstall the video card and turn on the computer. Your problem should be solved.

    Please see Computer Does starts is not after the installation of a videocard (Windows 8) for more information on the subject.

  • HP Pavilion 500-164 playing through my TV station

    My HP Pavilion 500-164 is not an HDMI Jack on the back of the office.  But she has a VGA socket.  I plugged a VGA cable into my office and my television.  But don't you computer desktop on my TV screen.  Nothing else.  I have a HDMI cable.  Should I get a VGA to HDMI?

    You computer has the following connections;

    3 - VGA           4 - DVI-D           12 - audio: output port (lime) line

    I suggest to use a HDMI-DVI cable and a mini plug cable stereo 1/8 "to connect your computer to HDTV. Alternatively, you can use a VGA cable, but theoretically, the image will be of inferior quality.

    See examples of Amazon.com (RadioShack.com would not work);

  • CARD READER USB FOR DESKTOP HP PAVILION 500 - C60?

    I have a new 500 - C60 HP Pavilion desktop computer, but the front card reader does not accept the largest flash Compact Flash (CF) card.  I have an old USB multi-card with four different card slots, which accepts the card see  Would this setting work satisfactorly?

    Thank you

    shamrock838

    Hello @shamrock838,

    I understand that your desktop HP Pavilion 500 - c60 PC does not support the biggest Compact Flash Memory Card and you are curious as to whether or not you can install an USB multicard Reader which accepts the memory card see First of all, you have reason 7 - in1 media card reader did it installed does not supported CF memory card, but it supports the following cards:

    • Digital safe™ (SD)
    • Secure Digital High Capacity (SDHC)
    • SDXC
    • Memory Stick
    • Memory Stick Select
    • Memory Stick PRO
    • Memory Stick MagicGate

    I don't see why you can't connect the 4 - in1 USB multicard reader you have. Until the operating system detects and installs, you should be fine.

    I hope that I have answered your question to your satisfaction. Thanks for posting on the HP Forums. Have a great day!

  • Desktop HP Pavilion 500-223w: upgrading my video card

    I have a desktop HP Pavilion 500-223w with integrated graphics card intel. I want to install a 3d ready geforce graphics card in the pci expansion slot. How can I disable the integrated video card? I went to the bios Setup, but has not seen something on the video card.

    Hello:

    When you add a video card in this model, the integrated graphics card is automatically disabled as it is on most of today's desktop PCs.

    If your PC came with the factory W10, you need to change two other BIOS settings.

    See this guide for what settings change... This applies to every PC comes with Windows 8 or newer installed.

  • HP Pavilion 500-164: the printer error HP Pavilion 500:511 - CPU fan not detected

    I have a HP Pavilion 500-164. Every time I start it, I get a 511 - CPU fan not detected error message.

    At the bottom of the screen, it says F1: Boot

    Then he begins to run smoothly. It becomes annoying.

    Examination of the aircraft, but when I find the two fans running?

    What is the problem and what I take in repairs?

    Hello

    Use a can of compressed air to clean any dust from the fans in the PC.  With the side panel, power on the PC and still observe the rotation speed of the fan.  What do you see? slow, medium, or high speed?

    Open the windows to RUN and enter: MSINFO32

    What level of your PC BIOS runs?

    Install the latest diagnostics for your PC. Start your PC and press ESC then F2 to run a diagnostic.  Run a complete set.

  • Remove the hard drive and optical drive on HP pavilion 500-164

    Hello

    I was eager to build a new computer and was hoping to use the hard drive and the optical drive from the Hp Pavilion 500-164 to reduce their costs. I'm confused as to how to remove the optical drive, because I removed the two screws on the left and don't know how to get to the other side as it wouldn't come out. When you remove the hard drive, the SATA cable wouldn't come off, so I stopped here and would like some advice on how to remove the hard drive from its Bay.

  • Pavilion 500-164: motherboard replacement raises Questions


    Thanks, Malygris1, for your very comprehensive answer.  Unfortunately, I'm looking forward and installed the new Board of Directors.  For those faced with replacing a motherboard HP, I will elaborate on my trip.  The most important step was in buying for the motherboard.  I have no HP, but from a dealer on Ebay.  I DID, however, carefully note the model of the motherboard AND the designated HP part number of alternatives on a small paper on the motherboard label.  The same motherboard model is used in several models of HP Office; but, if the number of HP spare parts is matched, the info on the model should be on the motherboard.

    My original problems were solved with the installation of the new Council.  After a router struck by lightning, the ethernet port had stopped working, and when told to stop, or in standby mode, the machine would invariably restart.  The new motherboard solved both problems, which seem to be related to the power surge.

    I installed the new Board of Directors of the Windows 10 updated 500-164 and held my breath I have it powered for the first time.  I was pleasantly surprised to see that everything looked the same as when I left it.  Recognized support assistant the new Board of Directors as part of a desktop computer 500-164.  I have not tried; but I hope that the recovery media will work, if necessary.  Malygris1, do you think that if Support Assistant recognizes the info on the model, the recovery disks will work?  I'm curious to know how it works, but, if not, no big deal, as I now have a new image Acronis 10 Windows installation, which works perfectly on the 500-164 Pavilion (without "Pitfalls", as some have reported with audio, etc. of the wireless card.).

    My second concern was whether or not Windows is always activated with the installation of the new Council.  He said that he "Windows is not activated.  ... Rats and other profanity.  I know it can take time to be put in correspondence with the info from Microsoft, so I updated the bios and checked the rest of the ports for the features of the machine.  I returned in configuration/system Panel and he told me that the activation information were "unavailable" - different from the message 'not active' sooner.  I've been waiting on this screen for a few minutes and the message changed to "Windows is activated"!  I was ready to make Microsoft telephone activation and I had run a keyfinder to get the original MS product key for Windows 8 from the hard drive, but I didn't have to use both methods.

    So, in summary, if you want a card mother 'replacement', shop for the exact number of spare parts HP; not only the MFG part number.  It will save you a lot of grief.  Obviously, if you want to 'upgrade' from your motherboard, all bets are off, because it's a totally different scenario with different issues to deal with.  My project was a complete success at a cost of $103 for the new motherboard and several hours of my time.

  • Desktop HP Pavilion 500-342nem: can I upgrade my desktop computer hp pavilion 500 with the graphics card AMD RX 480 replacing edge R7

    I plan to upgrade my hp pavilion 500-342nem, who was already A7 graphical 240 with the new 480 RX.

    Is it possible to upgrade both the power supply and graphics card?

    There will be no problem of compatibility (PSU Corsair CX 500 questioned?.)

    I heard a lot of chatter on hp restricting the upgrade of their pc.

    The new card will work?

    Any help will be apppreciated.

    @Jeffrin98, welcome to the forum.

    I cannot find the specs of the product to the computer.  So, here's what you need to do.  Press Start + R from the view of the office.  This will open a run dialog box.  In the box labeled type msinfo32 opened.  In the page that opens, check the option titled Mode BIOS.  If he says UEFI motherboard is supported by the video card.  If this isn't the case, you will not be able to move forward.

    The next step is to measure the space where the card will be installed to ensure that it fits.  Measure from the back i/o port to the front of the case.  This will allow you to see if other ingredients will limit the installation.

    The CX500 Corsair power supply (PSU) should work.  However, check how much power requires the video card.  It may be better to buy a PSU with 600W.  High power will be used during peak power needs.  In addition, the card may require additional power connectors.  Also, I recommend a modular power supply.  It allows you to use only the cables that are absolutely necessary, create better air circulation.  It is very important with more powerful graphics cards.  The heat can be much larger.

    Hello

    You should not need a power supply upgrade. But just in case, open your PC and display the information on the label of power such as the amperage supply total wattage and 12v.

    Thanks for posting on the forum.

  • Desktop HP pavilion 500

    I have a HP pavilion desktop computer will turn off randomly and the light flashes when I cut the power or hold the button down it will reboot after but if I wait not long before restarting it used to stay on long. Is this a power supply problem? What can I do to solve it?

    Hello jameslwilson88,

    Today, computers are designed to try to protect themselves. If the computer processor or other computer device becomes too hot the computer turns off automatically without warning to continue harming himself.

    You must consider all the fans to ensure that they are functioning and turn smoothly. There should be no obstruction and such noises that the Cree can indicate a fan goes wrong or failing.

    It is a good page on some information about what you do and watch with your computer.

    Computer turns off without warning

    I don't know if you have a specific reason to use the Linux distro you chose or if you consider a recommendation.  I used Ubuntu (prn. oo-boon-too) for several years as a dual boot with Windows.  Not only is it a great distribution, but there is a very good Forum.  Not as good as this , but very good.  The members of the Forum are very useful.  You can give it a thought.  I think they would get you to the top and run very fast.
